Birthday parties

I usually do a combined family one for my oldest and my twins cause their birthdays are very close together. This year my son is in kindergarten and I'm sure he is going to want to have a friend party. Then I realized how much it is going to cost to have two parties. We usually spend a few hundred on the big party. Then I'm going to have to spend another 100-150 for a friend party. Would it be wrong to have a few friends over during his family party?

I would just do one party, invite the friends and have it for both! I've been to parties like this when there is more than 1 birthday kid. I didn't know until I got there so I did not feel obligated to get 2 gifts. My sister and I have boy exactly 1 year apart and every couple years they share a party. It saves us money since half of the friends there they share then they invite a few from school. This year we are doing a double chuckee cheese party.
